Nature lover. Regular Moth recorder. Butterfly watcher. Hoping to attract as much wildlife as possible to our wild, 5 acre, Yorkshire garden. Build it and they will come.
I get several each year but it’s always nice to see the first of the year.

Just potted one off the outside of my trap!

Hope they were good ones! Mild and still here. I thought it might be a good night.

They don’t seem to be attracted to light as strongly as males, but I’ve had a few in the trap over the years.

I’ve searched so many sites for a few years. It had become a personal mission. I’ve been driving my husband crazy looking at Sorrel everywhere we go. He’s walked off and left me on several occasions, like the fungi group did on this occasion. This time it paid off. Keep looking!

Thanks Andy, it’s a spectacular mine and stood out so much more on the larger Common Sorrel leaf than on the Sheep’s Sorrel I’ve found it on previously. Good luck in your search.

Well I’ve certainly looked, but quite possibly.

Glad I spent so much time looking at Sorrel while everyone else was looking at fungi 😄

Thanks, It was a relief! I've spent hundreds of hours looking at Sorrel!
